I had been using GoDaddy’s domain registration services for a long time (this domain is also being served by them) despite their tacky commercials and confusing UI. I always found the hassle of switching carriers to be too much effort as long as the service did the job. After all, how many times do you need to go back and play around with your domain settings after the initial purchase/setting.

However seeing Bob Parsons kill an elephant in Africa while making the entire village wear GoDaddy hats was something I really could not stomach. So effective today, I will start moving my domains away from GoDaddy (about 60 of them) to another provider like NameCheap.com.

For those of you wondering how you can do this quickly (through the complicated UI that GoDaddy has that practically makes this impossible) here is a guide on how to switch your domains from GoDaddy to another provider.

I hope many follow the lead and do not put the $1-2 year savings every year above some good ethics both as a person and as a corporation.
